dealing with bisexuality
While it takes very little imagination to understand how
members of the same sex can please one another sexually,
for a person who may be strugling with bisexuality, a bigger
obstacles may be less apparent. Some of the issues could
be religious and moral issues, dealing with societal conventions,
or the fear of being riduculed by ones peers and even with
the health and safety issues. My intent in this article
is not to twist arms or persuade anyone into exploring same-sex
intamacy its only to help bring to light some of the issues
that may weigh heavily on the minds of someone who has negative
feelings about their own bisexual curiousity. The person
may not be conscious of the issues if its easier to block
something out at the subconscious level and live in a state
of depression instead of confronting the issues directly.
For someone in this predicament its easier to ignore it
then contemplate the ramifications. Does it mean I'm
gay? Doesn't the Bible say its wrong? What would my
friends do if they found out? I could get AIDS. Well each
of these in itself is a whole can of worms. And maybe topics
for future articles but the whole point of this article
is that not dealing with the individual issues is surely
more detrimental to ones health then trying to ignore them.
If this is something that you or a close friend might be dealing
with, take the time to determine what the real issues are
and address them. Once the issues are in the open take some
time to research the pros and cons and think things over
untill you can live with whatever decision you make. There
is a difference between homosexual acts and being gay.
There are religions that are accepting and understanding.
You can meet more understanding friends on this website.
Most importantly for your health you can easily get STD's
from both men or women, so safe sex applies to everyone in
the straight, bi, and gay community. Help somone learn
to love themeselves again.
